Ken Jackson, the brainchild of the inaugural Wiregrass Cup high school soccer tournament schedule to be held Friday and Saturday at the Westgate complex in Dothan, spent much of Thursday
“We’re making absolutely sure that we’re doing things that any and all tournaments in the state have not been doing,” Jackson said. “We took our team up to Montgomery and there were some things we noticed we want to do here that weren’t done there.
The eight varsity boys teams are: Houston Academy, Dothan, Ariton, Beauregard, Marbury, Northside Methodist Academy, G.W. Long and Spanish Fort. The five JV boys teams are: Houston Academy, Charles Henderson, Smiths Station, Dothan and Carroll. “It’s a challenge related to one of the most important aspects of a soccer game, and that is free kicks,” Ken Jackson said. “So each team has nominated a total of two athletes that will represent their team in the Skills Challenge.
“What each student athlete will get the opportunity to do is to have five kicks. If they hit the net, they get one point. The seven targets can be as little as 5 points all the way up to 40 points.”
